§ MR. DALZIEL (Kirkcaldy Burghs)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is able to give any information to the House in reference to the present position of the Anglo-American Commission, particularly with regard to the report that its deliberations have not resulted in any agreement being arrived at?
§ MR. BRODRICKThe Anglo-American Commission has adjourned until August 2nd. In certain points progress has been made towards a settlement, and it is hoped that further negotiations may resolve the questions still in dispute. Meantime, the Commissioners have requested that all which passed in the Commission may be considered confidential, so that it will not be possible to lay papers on the subject.
